Incarceron by Catherine Fisher
3.0

Finn, a man suspected to have been born inside the living prison, Incarceron. Claudia, a woman desperate to escape her fated betrothal and learn the secrets of Incarceron from her father, the warden. After learning of the other's existence, they each embark on their own journeys to learn more about the other. Inside Incarceron and outside in the world.

The premise of this book was amazing. I loved the characters, even if most of them felt a bit flat or static. My main qualm with this book was the climax, or the great revelation that was supposed to shake our world view. While it was certainly impressive and interesting, I felt like there was a lot of build up to such an amazing idea, and then the reveal and the conclusion fell flat. Still, I quite enjoyed this book.
